Even the servant didn't dare disturb him, she just passed him a cup of tea, Xie Kai just couldn't understand why such a gentle and considerate woman would do such a thing, could it be that he was truly mistaken about her?
Now that such a thing had happened, Xie Kai could not help but doubt his eyes a little. When he thought of Xie Wanqing, the image of his aggrieved face that would cry as he tried to defend Shao Fang if he was killed suddenly surfaced in front of his.
But when he thought about Concubine Fang, he felt an itch in his heart, thinking about how according to her mother's personality, it would take a long time before he could say anything.
Xie Kai did not know what was wrong with him, and could only sigh, thinking that his family's misfortune had actually caused something like this to happen.
Originally, it was New Year's Eve, and all the young misses were allowed to go out to play, but Xie Wanqing was very quiet, and stayed in her room all day long. She even went to the branch house of the Blessed Soup Shop the only time she went out.
Everyone said that Second Miss must be old, sensible, and calm. She was no longer as mischievous as she was when she was young.
Only Xie Wanqing herself knew, that even in the New Year, he could not relax even a little. If she wanted to get the favors of the elders, that was it.
Just as he was familiarizing himself with the words, Yue Xin who was originally waiting outside came in to report!
"The old mistress has come to see you!" Indeed, Xie Kai rarely stepped into his room. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, he was not close to his daughters, but now that he was here, wouldn't that mean Xie Wanqing had grown up?
Only, Xie Wanqing remained indifferent, and did not reveal any signs of being happy. She only said one sentence: "Let daddy in!"
After a while, Xie Kai came in. Xie Wanqing then put down the brush in his hand, and leisurely said to An Xin: "Xinqing greets father!"
Xie Kai rarely conversed with his daughters, but when he saw the little guy being obedient, he suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart, "Get up!"
As he said that, he sat down on the chair that Xie Wanqing was originally sitting on and looked at the words Xie Wanqing, "Your writing has actually improved greatly, it's just that your charm seems to be lacking something, if only your wrist had used a little more strength!"
Xie Kai's calligraphy skills were famous among all the officials, so Xie Wanqing naturally nodded her head.
"Xianqing knows that her calligraphy is still insufficient. Can I ask daddy to teach her?" Xie Wanqing thought about it, when Xie Kai previously said that he wanted to teach chess, he had only played two or three rounds with him, and it was not because Xie Kai was slow, but because Xie Kai was just too busy, and did not have the time to teach him.
But at least, the only bit of closeness between father and daughter between Xie Kai and himself, and Xie Kai's opinion of him had all changed, it all started at that time.
"I've been getting busier and busier these days!" Xie Kai scratched his head in embarrassment. If he said that he was unwilling, and just said that he was busy, then there was still hope.
"Xinqing knows that dad won't disturb dad when he's busy. She only asks dad to let her into dad's study, and when dad is busy, he can wait on her, and teach her how to read." As Xie Wanqing spoke, she pulled on Xie Kai's hand. How could Xie Kai have the heart to refuse?
"You must have felt wronged on New Year's Eve. You should study properly. I still have some official matters to attend to, so I'll be returning to the study first!"
Xie Kai had always been calm and collected, and when he said that sentence, that grievance, it was to truly cherish Xie Wanqing! Xie Wanqing secretly thought in her heart, and then pulled Xie Kai.
"Xianqing will accompany father!" Xie Wanqing looked at her sincere little face. Naturally, Xie Kai agreed to let her have her way.
"Alright then!" Xie Kai laughed, then pulled Xie Kai's hand and walked out of the door.
"Yue Xin, help me prepare the paper, pen and the Buddhist scripture. Send it to daddy's room!" Only after Yue Xin gave her agreement did she feel at ease to leave with Xie Kai.
Not long after entering Xie Kai's room, a servant brought over a brush and paper. As Xie Kai's room did not allow random people to enter or leave, Yue Xin was not able to enter, and the masters of the different rooms would very rarely disturb Xie Kai, so how could Xie Kai allow them to enter or leave the room as they wished? Xie Wanqing was still the first person to enter.
Xie Wanqing really did not disturb Xie Kai, seeing that the moment Xie Kai entered the study, he started to get busy, Xie Wanqing just indifferently laid out an ink and paper, and started copying the Buddhist scriptures on a small table.
Anyone who saw that serious look would have been moved.
Two hours later, Xie Kai finally withdrew himself from public service. Looking at Xie Wanqing's childish yet serious face, he could not help but smile.
"You're so young, why did you pick up a scripture?" The meaning behind Xie Kai's words was that those who believed in buddhist arts could only be Madame Ye, or people like the old mistress. Xie Wanqing was untimely, but felt that the two daughters were a little depressing.
"This is what Grandmother likes. Xianqing is willing to please Grandmother, and what's wrong with treating her as if she's learned some words?" Xie Wanqing stopped writing and tilted her head to look at Xie Kai.
On the other hand, a flash of astonishment appeared in Xie Kai's eyes. Even a child of this age would be so willful, yet Xie Wanqing had this kind of thought, it was no wonder why this old man liked it so much.
"You don't want to go out and play, but you like to please your grandmother?"
"Earlier, you enjoyed going out to play, but after being greeted by your grandma, you are very quiet. You don't want to go out to play, you just want to read books and practice your writing skills!"
As Xie Wanqing said this, she raised her small head, looking more and more pleasing to the eye, it made Xie Kai very happy.
"In the past, you've been playing crazily and didn't even stay at home during the new year. I heard that you only went out once today, and bought some pastries for your grandmother, head lady, and auntie?"
Xie Kai sighed in his heart, could it be that his daughter had really grown up?
One of the reasons why Xie Wanqing went to the branch of Fu Ji's Soup Dumplings that day was to see what exactly it looked like. With just a glance, she knew that the area was extremely good, and the reason was because she had gone out with great difficulty.
"Of course, we had to keep it at home when we went out to play. So, when I heard that the pastry at the Fu Li Soup Shop was delicious, I brought some here on purpose. It's a pity that I didn't dare to disturb Daddy at that time, so Daddy didn't eat it!"
It's just that at that time, your Concubine Fang was still forbidden to leave because of your matter, why did you bring it to her? Xie Kai's words had hit the spot.
In Xie Wanqing's eyes, how could the Concubine Fang be worthy of such a good item, thus what she gave to the Madame Ye and the Old Granny were fresh, but what she gave to the Concubine Fang was for overnight, and was prepared to throw away, it was just that the weather was cold these few days, so the Concubine Fang could not smell anything strange.
"The grace of nurturing is greater than the heavens, how can Chi Qing forget about it. Even now, when Grandmother's grace and Concubine Fang comes out, Su Qing will still properly honor the Concubine Fang!" As Xie Wanqing spoke, her face had a tinge of melancholy.
"Very good, Daddy will teach you to write. First, you must have strength in your hands …" As he said that, he pulled up Xie Wanqing's small hand and held onto Xie Wanqing's hand, teaching her how to write.
On this day, Xie Wanqing only came out of Xie Kai's study at dusk, she only turned around to grab another plate of pastries, and went into the buddhist hall.
Right now, the two of them could not sit still, they could not wait to kill Xie Wanqing, but right now, Xie Wanqing had actually come!
The Concubine Fang was good at hiding her identity, but Xie Wanyun's eyes seemed to be on fire.
You actually know how to come here and cause us to fall into such a state. Could it be that you are here to watch us die? " All of the things that Xie Wanyun had originally been hiding in her heart had now been said.
